American Boy Choir signing Ave Maria by Richard Clark. I've fallen in love with it (can't start the day without listening to it at least once) and it has inspired me to explore similar music, like this amazing recording of the Dufay. Thanks for sharing!
@Beliber88 What is incorrect? The harmonies were written by Dufay. Music was no longer purely monophonic by this time. Kindly check your facts. And who has classified it as medieval? Medieval relates to when it was written, not the style in which it was written. The style is fauxbourdon and was typical of this period. In modern times it is common to use female voices.
@VisioMusicum Ok ok. Let me put the record straight. Yes, This piece is not Medieval, I don't know how anyone got that idea. Allow me to make a short analysis for you: This piece exemplifies exactly the processes that turned music from the Gothic sound into the renaissance triadic harmony.Dufay transitioned from the use open intervals, 5th, octaves, to using the intervallic content of 6ths, this technique is called Fauxbourdon.
@VisioMusicum The piece starts out in D Dorian tonality and in the plainchant style but after it is paraphrased into the part, it is transformed into Harmonic Minor by using “Musica Ficta” also known as accidentals. The Piece has many first and second inversion triads because it uses triadic harmony created by implementing a Fauxbourdon. The Texture of the piece starts out Monophonic during the Gregorian chant part but transitions into Polyphonic during the part with the Fauxbourdon.
@VisioMusicum Now for the longest time the Cantus firmus of a piece was in the Tenor part; Dufay first harmonized the cantus firmus using triadic harmony, paraphrased the cantus firmus and then placed it in the Superius part. (which will later become known as Soprano). This principle still plays a role in most modern music to this day. Any more questions? :)
This is not classified as Medieval music because Medieval music is Monophonic meaning only one melody line and NO harmonies. There were also no Females Clearly from 0:30 there are harmonies and those harmonies are Female voices. Therefore this is incorrect.
You're actually wrong. There was medieval music that was polyphonic. In the 12th century Guido of Arezzo made a musical treatise which included some guidelines for how to write polyphonic music. One of the main places of polyphonic composition inthe 12th century was at the Aquitatian Monastic Centers. Furthermore polyphonic music was written in Britian in the 12th century. The Renaissance in music history started sometime in the 14 century. Du Fay was a renaissance composer.
It is really nice how it transitions from the D dorian plainchant in to the Harmonic Minor triadic harmony along with the faux bourdon and Supirius's cantus firmus and musica ficta.
So many irrelevant quibbles and comments in the face of such obviously great music. Astonishing how many "music lovers'" ears are so stuffed with wool or squeezed shut by a swollen small mind.
Taste cannot be disputed, and no one 'owns' music, not even the composer once they've drawn the double bar.
Lovely. Check out the marvelous versions of Dufay's great motet Nuper Rosarum Flores available on Youtube to get an idea of this greatest of early composers' style in a more formalized compositional style. His chansons, such as Ce jour de l'an and Hélas mon dueil (to give a light rondeau and more sad and serious example), are also among his very finest music.
Beautiful piece! I'm preparing to conduct Guerrero's famous setting of this text, and having second thoughts about which I like better. This is stunning. There's something about fauxbourdon that's really gripping to me—perhaps the harmonic instability: at least, that's what 21st-century ears might hear. It's odd to think that part of why I love listening to Dufay's music (and, even more, Machaut's) might be due to a factor that those composers likely wouldn't, or couldn't, have understood.
The entire melody being harmonized in fourths makes this sound so incredible, especially during the initial cadence at around 1:04 where the tenor sings that juicy b5. I have to wonder, since parallel perfect intervals as well as the mere presence of a tritone were at one time considered entirely evil by the church, how this man could've been considered as highly as he was. I wonder if the mere distance from Rome could've accounted for such totally different standards.
Its a shame when I go onto youtube to look into any music pre 20th century, there are a number of very arrogant musicians/listeners who put not only each other down (like they know more then the other), but think of themselves as better then anyone who associates with a specific genre of music they themselves may not be interested in. Musical taste is down to opinion, its ok to express that but not in such a way, that you think you are better then another for what you listen to.
When I think Dufay, I think Missa L'homme arme and O tres piteulx (it would be great to have that song on youtube, btw). This piece is much more medieval sounding, although that probably has a lot to do with it being based on plainchant :p
I totally agree. Whether it is the plainchant-based style of composing (in this case, Fauxbourdon) or just that thing that places medieval times far deeper in time which gives this piece an authentic Middle Ages photoframe.
This chant tune has been used in other medieval/ Renaissance music, possibly? Or maybe it's just a very famous piece of music, it's so interesting, especially for being so old!
Ave maris stella, Dei Mater alma, Atque semper Virgo Felix coeli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore, Funda nos in pace Mutans Evae nomen. Profer lumen caecis Mala nostra pelle Bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem,
@VisioMusicum Fauxbourdon is my favorite composition style from the middle ages. I am currently writing a MIssa Brevis in that style. It is so hauntingly beautiful.
Have you strayed from the path leading to heaven? Then call on Mary, for her name means " Star of the Sea, the North Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life," and she will guide you to the harbor of eternal salvation.
Whomever picked out the video really helped paint a picture to put forth with the music for it was VERY beautiful and quite wonderful to listen to and enjoy, especially the bass choirists.
I don't feel that you need to apologize for squawking about your musical tastes. It obviously had little impact on me.
By the way, I doubt that Haydn or Mozart would have agreed with you in your statement. One thing I've noticed about composers, and musicians in general, is that they have a lot of respect for those who came before them.
This relatively unstructured music sounds a fresh and contemporary as ever, truly timeless and marvelously evocative. The video is gorgeous, a perfect match for the music.
Robert Kochis, a young Catholic singer, does a version of this song that I just love. It's much more musical and less of a chant. It is so beautiful and spiritual. For some reason, I can't post the link on here, but if you reply or message me back, I can give you the link of where you can go listen to part of the song at!
When the Phœnicians navigated to Europe, the way the sun sets, (Erev), they aimed planet and dea Venus as their way of life. In Medieval, the Europeans aimed Mary, Mother of God, as the Star of the Sea and Happy Door of Heaven for their destination. Our earthy Life is in the extreme dark and dangerous Sea. It is easy to be shipwrecked and perished in it. The metaphor of Mary as the Brightest Star in the Sky that guides Us to Heaven is the same interpretation in our time as well. Good Luck.
I played in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in several proms and conducted many concerts at cambridge university. I played in its prestigious chamber orchestra many times. There are very few works in the classical cannon I do not know and love.
I feel sad at the limitation of your musical scope, and your seeming unawareness of that fact. I feel happy at a world of Alkan, Liszt, Satie, Debussy, pink fairies & palestrina that waits to delight you
Dear stintedreasoning, kindly learn the meaning of the word opinion. If you read my response to poor old pedrinhophavon's display of his ignorance you will find i did not express a single opinion.

You know me, by the way? I said anything wrong? You are comparing Dufay with Mozart? And then I do not know music history? Let's compare Beatles to Bach, then!!! "John Lennon was a stupid one, guess he never knew how to compose a fugue!!!"
I truly think that nakedBison69 doesn´t know about the meaning of the word " politeness" and that our dear prairie buffalo should not pose such nasty comments again. Greetings from Germany gentlemen and just enjoy the music instead of arguing about things which don ´t make sense
andi84chen84 does not know the meaning of the world politeness and should not post such nasty comments again. andi84chen84 argues about things which make no sense
"This is really really bad". By what standard? Because it doesn't have cymbals? Because it doesn't have violins? Because it's not all ornaments and frippery, and rather an experiment in the depth and complexity the human voice can convey?
This is a beautiful prayer, set to a strange, mysterious melody. I think it is the height of ignorance to proclaim one of the best composers of early music---arguably of all time---is "really bad" just because it doesn't immediately suit your conventions.
Very beautiful!
